This article presents the current results of an ongoing survey assessing the implementation status of sterility test isolator systems worldwide. The results from the survey confirmed that sterility testing in isolators is now the "norm" vs. being a novelty. One key finding of the survey was that these systems have been predominantly placed in unclassified, although controlled access, areas.

This presentation given by Dr. Carmen Wagner reviewed the current results of an ongoing survey assessing the implementation status of sterility test isolator systems worldwide. The results from the survey, coordinated with the assistance of Ms. Jennifer Raynor of Serentec, confirmed that sterility testing in isolators is now the "norm" vs. being a novelty. One key finding of the survey was that these systems have been predominantly placed in unclassified, although controlled access, areas.
